FAQs
What does IP66 rating mean?
An IP66 rating indicates that the enclosure is dust-tight (6) and protected against powerful water jets (6), making it suitable for harsh environmental conditions.
Can this enclosure be used outdoors?
Yes, the enclosure is made of UV-resistant polycarbonate and has an IP66 rating, making it suitable for outdoor applications.
What are the internal dimensions of the enclosure?
The external dimensions are 130 x 130 x 35mm. The internal usable space will be slightly smaller due to wall thickness and the gasket.
Does the enclosure come with mounting hardware?
The enclosure is supplied with polyamide cover screws and a TPE gasket. Mounting plates or DIN-rails are not included and must be purchased separately.
Is the transparent cover completely clear?
The cover is smoked transparent, meaning it is not fully clear but allows for visual inspection of the contents.
What type of components is this enclosure best suited for?
It is ideal for general-purpose electrical components, small control units, junction boxes, and terminal connections where protection from dust and water is required.
Troubleshooting
Enclosure cover is difficult to close or seal
Ensure the TPE gasket is properly seated and free of debris. Check that no internal components are obstructing the lid. Tighten screws evenly in a cross pattern.
Condensation inside the enclosure
While the IP66 rating prevents external water ingress, rapid temperature changes can cause condensation. Ensure components inside do not generate excessive heat. Consider using a desiccant pack if extreme temperature fluctuations are common.
Scratches or hazing on the transparent cover
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For minor hazing, a polycarbonate-specific cleaner might help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Open the enclosure by carefully removing the polyamide cover screws.
Install any required mounting plates or DIN-rails (sold separately) inside the enclosure.
Arrange your electrical components within the enclosure, ensuring proper wiring and strain relief.
Secure the TPE gasket to ensure a proper seal.
Close the enclosure and tighten the cover screws evenly to achieve the IP66 rating.
Compatibility:
This enclosure is designed for general-purpose electrical component protection.
It is suitable for mounting plates and DIN-rails.
Ensure your internal components fit within the 130 x 130 x 35mm dimensions and do not generate excessive heat that could exceed the material's limits.
Care:
Clean the enclosure with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the polycarbonate.
Periodically check the TPE gasket for signs of wear or damage and replace if compromised to maintain the IP rating.
Ensure cover screws remain tightened to maintain the seal.
